Harry is the type of character that an actor would be tempted to either ham up or to take the pathos UpToEleven with, but Carney makes him a very believable human being and constantly hits just the right tone.

* AwardSnub: A notorious aversion. Creator/ArtCarney, who was mainly known as a TV star (''Harry and Tonto'' was only his fifth film in a career that had already spanned several decades), beat out Creator/JackNicholson (''Film/{{Chinatown}}''), Creator/AlPacino (''Film/TheGodfatherPartII''), Creator/DustinHoffman (''Film/{{Lenny}}'')[[note]]Ironically, Creator/LennyBruce's mother Sally Marr plays the CrazyCatLady in the final scene of ''Harry and Tonto''[[/note]] and Creator/AlbertFinney (''[[Film/MurderOnTheOrientExpress1974 Murder on the Orient Express]]'') for the 1974 Best Actor UsefulNotes/AcademyAward. The conventional wisdom is that all those acting heavyweights split the Academy's votes, leading Carney to squeak away with the win. But Carney did also win the UsefulNotes/GoldenGlobeAward that year, so it's not like it was totally out of nowhere. Ironically, Hoffman would win his second Best Actor statuette for [[Film/RainMan a film]] that has a lot of similarities to ''Harry and Tonto'' (RoadMovie {{Dramedy}} about reconciling with family, including a big scene set in Las Vegas).
